Winslow cohousing is a organized as a housing cooperative, everything is owned by the corporation, we own shares in the corporation, and have "proprietary leases" on our individual units. It is an alternative legal organization to condominium. It did not make us a commune. http://www.coophousing.org/DisplayPage.aspx?id=122&bMenu=76&bItem=122 Message: 6 Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 14:30:50 -0800 (PST) From: Charles Nuckolls <administrator [at] utahvalleycommons.com> Subject: Re: [C-L]_ Cohousing Question - common ownership To: Cohousing-L <cohousing-l [at] cohousing.org> Message-ID: <1328653850.44563.YahooMailNeo [at] web1102.biz.mail.sk1.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Common-ownership communities generally go by a different name (e.g., "commune"), not "cohousing."? There are very few in the United States:? Twin Oaks is probably the best known.? There are?others that approach ownership in common, like Dancing Rabbit and Sandhill.? What is interesting about these communities is that they rarely grow to more than 100 people; they tend to discourage families with children; and the average length of membership is less than five years.?They are, not surprisingly, communities of the young.? Cohousing communities generally do own some things in common, like (some) land and the common house, but the dominant model is private ownership of dwellings.? And the only real growth area in cohousing is not among the young, but the old (60 and up) -- so-called "senior cohousing."? Interestingly, it is this segment of cohousing that is?most like the communes in its demographic preference for families without children. ? ? Charles W. Nuckolls Utah Valley Commo
